Eco friendly boat

Since the Geirangerfjord was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, environmental concerns and sustainable development have been given increasing attention. Stricter requirements are gradually being introduced, restricting the types of vessel allowed on the fjord. Geiranger Fjordservice has only recently launched this boat, which is not just any boat. This catamaran was built from eco-friendly, recycled materials and the plan is for the entire boat to be recycled once it has come to the end of its life. Its double hull is shaped to minimise resistance in the water, which also helps to reduce emissions. Moreover, its diesel engine is ready to be replaced by battery or hydrogen power as soon as technological developments allow. Have a look at the way she lies on the water and her wash. Because the boat makes smaller waves, she is less of a nuisance to others.
